About

CinemaDrop is a platform for hosting and monetizing virtual film festivals by providing filmmakers, organizers, and theaters with a turnkey streaming ecosystem. The software allows hosts to manage submissions, create custom festival sites, schedule screenings (live or on-demand), and control access via digital tickets, passes, or DRM protection. It supports curated programs, thematic sections, and flexible scheduling windows, enabling festivals to roll out events over days or weeks, complete with virtual “venues” and viewing rooms. CinemaDrop also handles paywalls, access management, and geo-restrictions to ensure only authorized attendees can view content. On the audience side, it offers a polished viewing experience; users can watch via browser or mobile, navigate screening schedules, and access supplementary content like artist bios, trailers, and Q&A sessions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Event Essentials has been my go-to event management company for over 5 years. Their reliable ticket purchasing software is flexible and updates easily. Ticket buyer data collection is valuable to support promotion, to send updates and alerts, and allows follow up on customer satisfaction. Staff responds quickly to emails and performs requests rapidly. Their “hands-on” participation makes one feel you have reliable partners. They continue to help raise the bar on event presentation with creative input that is customized to support our goals.
  • I've had nothing but good experiences with Event Essentials and their software / service. They're on the forefront with this software and tech in general.

Cons

  • In over 5 years working with Event Essentials, I have never been disappointed in their services.
  • I had a good experience and don't have any complaints.
